"She doesn’t need anything for Keith, Grey I buy hi he needs, I have since I realized theto hi back and her eyes pinning me with a stare that was a ive her s for Keith?"

"So an effort to give him what he needed, and I didn’t want Charlie to waste herthe me, wouldn’t you tell me the second time? Or, Christ, the third ti like this from you?"

Grey studied ed in defeat "There was no sob story the second time she came, she just asked for ive it to her?" My voice bounced back at us in the rooether Kneeling down beside Grey, I cupped her face in ht now I’m mad at her, I swear I hate that you didn’t tell me, but my mom is evil, and I’m the only person to ever have seen that side of her I hate that she went after you I hate that she’s been near you I’ to her--"

"You’re not the only one," she whispered, cutting me off

"What?"

"I know your oing to give her more money, but like I said, she lefton you, and was threatening to do so that I kneould kill you if I didn’t pay her, or if I told you"

Confusion quickly replaced"What on earth could she possibly have on me?"

Grey lifted a shoulder and shook her head "When I started walking away fro sure your kid was going to starve"

My heart skipped a beat, and I shook"What did you just say? What kid?"

Grey just looked up atas if to answer er"

Ice flooded my veins and pinnedanymore as her words echoed over and over in"Excuse me?"

"LeAnn’s son Your son" Grey shook her head slowly back and forth before choking out, "Keith is yours, Jag"

I felt dizzyI felt sickI was so fking confused "No he’s not He can’t" I trailed off

"Your nant, but by the time she tried to tell you, Ben had died and you were alithtiave over custody to your mom--she even said to ask Charlie if I didn’t believe her"

My head swung back to look at Grey, shock coveringsister has known for two years that I have a kid and didn’t say anything? You knew I had a fking kid, with LeAnn of all people, and didn’t say so he was my brother all this time, and you’ve all just kept this froer, please stop yelling at me!"

"Well, Jesus Christ, Grey! How do you expect me to react to what you just told me?"

"I’m sorry, you have no idea how sorry I am, but I just found out--and like I said, I couldn’t tell you! Not only had we just found out that it was LeAnn as doing all the Ben stuff and breaking into the warehouse, but yourto us was because she’d been trying to get her faer! It Makes Sense And then I found out that yourfor that ti to disappear with Keith if I told you! Do you see why I couldn’t tell you? It killedI could to find out what happened, and find a way for us to get Keith from your mom once I realized how horrible she really is That is why I kept it from you, all I wanted to do was help you and help Keith so your mom couldn’t leave with hi, and didn’t stop for another coupleI just listened to her cries as I tried to wrap one after my fiancée That Grey had kept the fact of the money from me That she’d kept the truth about Keith from me The fact that Keith was actually , and without turning to look at her, I asked, "How long were you going to continue giving her money? Because you can’t honestly believe that she would’ve just stopped co to hold this over both our heads"

"I was just trying to buy us some time" Grey sounded like all the life had been drained froht after Ben died

"What else are you keeping from me?"
